Learners will need a notebook and writing tools to bring to class each week. For classes which include hands-on activities or projects, you will be provided with a material list one week prior to class. Printouts are seldom needed and I always provide an alternative to the printout to accommodate learners who do not have access to a printer.
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
Learners and parents will be provided with weekly updates for the following week. In weeks that include projects, students may need to use scissors or other materials which may need supervision. To ensure learner safety, it is suggested that adult guidance is provided when using scissors or when the teacher posts a parental guidance note in the weekly updates. It is suggested learners have access to safety goggles and gloves when using materials in class such as baking soda, vinegar or lemon juice.
